Birth Control - Iud and period?

I've had my iud for a month now and I've been bleeding everyday since then up until this week. I've been cramping a little for about 2 days but my discharge is a tan color. Is this normal? And I know I'm protected from pregnancy because I got it inserted during my period even tho I had sex 2 weeks after insertion.

I agree with kaismama, tan/brown blood is old blood. Just think about it, you have something inserted into your cervix, the tissue around that site is very delicate, but durable. It's something your body will get used to. Things to report though, if you can't feel the strings in the cervix, or if you develop 6-10 pain on a 1-10 scale. Though mild cramping should be normal.
